More than 10 kilograms of bacon went into creating the bacon cup, said the bar’s co-owner and head chef Jean-François Leduc. He told the Star it took five hours, and six layers of bacon glued together, to build.

“The moment we can do something with bacon, we do it,” Leduc said. “It’s been months that we’ve had the idea to make a cup.”

The cup is inedible, but will be on display in the bar throughout the NHL playoffs, Leduc said. The Canadiens will host the Ottawa Senators in the first game of their opening round series on Wednesday.

“It’s right in the centre of the bar. We put varnish on it, and when you walk into the bar, you can’t miss it,” he added.

Social media users were enthusiastic about the bacon cup. “Love it! Need help eating that?” one posted on Instagram. “I can almost taste the cup! Smoked!” another quipped.
